The following is a quote from Erik De Keyser, a Bricscad representative:
We have had meetings with Carlson, we have developed all the needed BRX functions to enable a smooth porting from ACAD to Bricscad for all their applications - all technical issues should be solved. Carlson has never been very responsive to us. I heard that Carlson argues that they don't want to be dependent again from a 'paying-per-license' platform. It is what it is, although I could argue that Bricsys is uncomparable with other big companies when it comes to tranparency and support. I guess the only way to make Carlson move for Bricscad is the pressure coming from their users. I guess their users just don't know how easy it is for Carlson to move to Bricscad. All I can say is that Carlson is always welcome but we are not going to ask them again.

It truly is a shame they can't get together, it would be a great combo.
